  • Patent number: 12704576
    Abstract: Echo planar imaging scanning techniques are provided. In a single excited EPI scanning process, a 90° RF excited pulse is applied to a target tissue. Then, a first RF convergence pulse is applied, followed by a first readout gradient pulse sequence in a readout direction while forbidding phase encoding gradients in a phase encoding direction and simultaneously collecting data for correcting a phase error between k-space lines. After the first readout gradient pulse sequence is applied, the first RF convergence pulse is sequentially applied to the target tissue for R times at intervals, and after the first RF convergence pulse is applied each time, the first readout gradient pulse sequence is applied in the readout direction while simultaneously applying a first phase encoding pulse sequence in the phase encoding direction, and collecting ACS data in a segmented manner, where R is an in-layer phase direction acceleration factor.

  • Publication number: 20260043882
    Abstract: Techniques are described for performing a phase correction for magnetic resonance imaging. The techniques include: for each slice of a target site: using a channel compression algorithm to determine each virtual channel of the slice using a channel compression matrix; determining a main virtual channel of the slice from each virtual channel; using phase correction data of the main virtual channel of the slice of the target site to perform phase correction on multi-segment image data of each virtual channel of the slice of the target site. This results in a reduction in phase errors in multi-segment MR image data.
